Description

In this richly imagined tale the early world of the Macedonian conqueror is seen through the lens of legend and occult practice. The narrative opens in ancient Egypt, where the enigmatic King Nektaneb commands armies not only with steel but with secret rites, shaping battles by molding wax into miniature war scenes. His mysterious disappearance sets the stage for a young Alexander’s circle to encounter the lingering power of his magic.

Back in Macedonia, Queen Olympias, desperate for an heir, turns to the refugee Egyptian sorcerer for guidance. Their secret meetings unfold in moonlit gardens, where celestial symbols and whispered prophecies hint at forces that could change the fate of a kingdom. The story weaves historical ambition with the allure of hidden knowledge, inviting listeners to glimpse the mythic roots of a legend before his conquests begin.
